The Very Best Ship

What was the best ship in any of your games?
Not the biggest or the most heavily armed or even the one with the coolest tech. Which ship was the best character in your games?
In the Eye of the Pancreator game we were boarded by a Vuldrock Raider called the Tennerbon and through a duel with a massive Vuldrok we managed to take her. Tennerbon was loosely translated from Norwegian as "Picked over Bones". She was a lander which always makes things simple for PCs but she was also designed to land and take-off quickly so she was just a little more agile than those that wanted to stop us. The Ship's think machines were administrated by a crown interface. When you wore the crown you had access to virtual advisers in Lore and Vuldrok Law and Ship's systems that would make melodramatic opinionated speeches to you. We had long toyed with the idea of Vuldrock ships having a "Hall" that would serve as the center of life on the ship and serve the center of administration and ritual for the crew. The Tennerbon was the first ship we encountered that had one. The Hall was decorated to resemble the inside of a Voldrok longhouse and the life-support system was designed to allow open flames.
